HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 907, 174, 562, 828 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 907, 174, 562, 828 is 1 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 907, 174, 562, 828 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 907, 174, 562, 828 is 1.
HCF(907, 174, 562, 828) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 907, 174, 562, 828 is 1.
Step 1: Since 907 > 174, we apply the division lemma to 907 and 174, to get
907 = 174 x 5 + 37
Step 2: Since the reminder 174 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 37 and 174, to get
174 = 37 x 4 + 26
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 26, and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 26 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 11 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 4 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 907 and 174 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(11,4) = HCF(26,11) = HCF(37,26) = HCF(174,37) = HCF(907,174) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 562 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 562 and 1, to get
562 = 1 x 562 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 562 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(562,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 828 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 828 and 1, to get
828 = 1 x 828 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 828 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(828,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
